I agree wih a lot of things that has been said on this thread.
As was mentioned on a previous post we have only scored 7 tries in 5 games and 2 of those were intercption tries by Adam Clay!
We will never win games if we dont score tries and our lack of attacking options this year is the most worrying thing for me.
We were never going to beat Workington in a forward battle up the middle of the park and if that was Holty's game plan it was totally wrong.
Does anyone know why Dan Toal, Sean Casey and Nathan Mossop weren't playing?
We missed Toal's non-stop tackling in defence. Casey is a far better positional & goal kicker and I personally think Mossop is quicker at the play the ball than James Dandy.
I think its time we tried to bring in some Loan players though as some of ours just aren't good enough at this level.
We are sadly lacking a couple of big powerful props who can get us some 'Go forward' for our halfbacks to play off, possibly allowing Liam Harrison to go back in the centre.
In my opinion we also need another quality hooker which would free up Liam Finch to go back into the halfs partnering Liam Campbell.
This would at least give us better attacking options.
What does everyone else think?

surely hes a better option than kaighan, i thought he was anonymous yesterday. if hes not backing up a break then hes not doing anything, and was a bit sneaky being 3rd man in and swinging a punch. thought dandy was schooled by callum phillips.

after game against barla i knew this was going to be a big ask for this team. we all said our pack isnt of any size and holty put us straight with size and figures but we just cant compete up the middle imo. get some fresh legs in and fast. if the gates start dropping these new lights will be a costing us nearly double. 400 down on last seasons average, thats short of 6k in home gate money and what they spend in ground. fingers crossed for that first win on sunday.

Pretty much spot on. I think Finch is a number 6 better than 9. I remember his performance against Wigan 09 but he hasn't played there much since especially when Rooney signed. We need a couple of better forwards and Harrison at centre. If Mossop was fit I'd of put either him or Finch at 13 as Haggerty was out on his feet at the end of the game.

We need 6 points from dewsbury and Haven at home or even bringing loan signings may be to late to recover.

James Gordon decided he couldnt commit to the training regime mate it wasnt Holty's decision !!!!

My mates lad plays at askam and he was saying Gordy has not missed a training session. Maybe there's more to it than what was printed in the mail which is what I would put my money on. Look at the games he played last season, Gordy was always consistent and he was dropped after playin well in some games. I don't blame him for not resigning.
